Proposed New Group: DU eBayers. Any interest? |
|
I know I'm not the only one here who's living the "alternative economy" by selling on Ebay. Allows me to stay home with the dogs, not have to venture out much into the world (touch of agoraphobia, what can I say?), and appeals to my sense of self-sufficiency and the adrenaline rush of feast-or-famine success. Since I find myself spending waaaay too much time here on DU anyway, I thought it might be nice to get fellow Ebayers together in a DU group to share hints, gripes, links, experiences, etc. Buyers welcome too, of course (I buy as well), to share your war stories. There's already a Small Business & Entrepeneurs group which covers some of this territory, but isn't specifically geared to auction people.
Any interest?
I'll be back to kick this for the evening crowd if no one else has done so by then.....

But I'm also an ebayer and online retailer. I'd be very interested in your group. I'd like to share business ideas with other progressives! Sounds great!

That's how I make my living now. But it's all grinding to a halt - I'm running out of product and can't replenish. I'd really like to find a way to keep doing this.

Early reponse this afternoon was positive, but I know the evening traffic is higher. According to the Groups rules, we need at least 10 DUers with donor stars to support the idea and agree to be active participants in a proposed new group.
So, for the evening crowd: Any interest?

I'm just starting my own business selling on the web and ebay. My other job was outsourced overseas last year and I can't find anything in my field so I'm hoping this will work out.

Need just a few more people to express an interest, in order to go to the next step of proposing a new group. So, one more self-kick. If there's just not enough interest, that's okay (maybe we can invade the Entrepeneurs group after all ;)), but I'll give the thread one more opportunity to be seen....
Happy Thanksgiving, all!

10. I am in - would like to find out how people make a living at it |
|
need to do some thing more
right now what I sell is mine - and it is to get money and some is to clear things out - but selling my china started as a way to pay rent
that seems to be the only thing I do well at
